Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I am a licensed therapist with 5 years of experience providing direct care to adults struggling with a wide variety of mental health difficulties and challenging life circumstances. While I find my approach to therapy can be of benefit and applicable to a majority of situations we face in life, I find my strength lies in working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, burnout, and changes in life roles, goals, and responsibilities. You’ve taken a wonderful step towards exploring meaningful change by being here, today, reading my profile and exploring what options for care might suit you best. The power over your life is in your hands – and in seeking care, remember: you are, in fact, interviewing me to see if we fit! While I certainly hope we do, there is nothing wrong, bad, or shameful if we do not. Finding a therapeutic match is important! I operate as a therapist based in Acceptance in Commitment Therapy, otherwise known as ACT (pronounced like the word, act). Through ACT, I aim to explore how those that I work with can overcome barriers to change. This is done by learning about and building skills that help you take a step back from the thoughts and feelings that keep you from achieving your goals, and connecting to your most important values. This knowledge and skillset is aimed to help you act – pun intended – and make changes towards a more meaningful, fulfilling life. If you choose to work with me, I will typically take our first session together to review my therapeutic approach, focus the majority of our session on giving you the "floor" (virtual floor, I suppose!) to share your current situation and struggles, and close by beginning to establish initial goals. It is my personal, professional mindset that I want to help you build the skills and insight into yourself and your situation so that you can begin making the changes you would like to see for you; my primary therapeutic goal is to assist you in feeling able to live a values-focused life, so that you can feel able to further pursue the life you want to live without the use of therapy. Whether you are facing considerable life change or looking to make some slight adjustments to your day-to-day routines, I look forward to knowing you, your experience, and providing the assistance that can help you begin to realize those changes, and sustain them in the long term.

My vision as a professional counselor is to assist clients in finding and becoming their best selves. I believe that with support each person can reach their greatest potential and truly live a life on purpose as their best selves. I utilize the theory based on Existentialism, which is focused on one finding a purpose and meaning in life that will propel them forward toward the ideal self. Within that philosophy I lean on Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma informed strategies to dispel distortions that are so easily created in our mind’s eye. The use of meditation, breathing exercises, positive affirmations, as well as yoga can be found in my counseling tool belt and are used with nervous, anxious and/or depressed clients. I also use Emotional Freedom Technique as well as Somatic strategies to align body, mind and spirit. When my clients come to visit me I want each one to feel safe and comfortable to be whom they are in the moment and together we can navigate the road to wellness and strength.

Hello and welcome! My name is Wanda Briggs, a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I am excited to greet you here at the beginning of your journey to embrace healing, growth, and balance. I am wondering if you are experiencing difficult and overwhelming situations in your life which are challenging or painful to manage; if so, I have a strong personal commitment to provide an empathic approach, taking time to truly get to know you and to understand your situation I am committed to helping you navigate these toughest moments- life transitions, struggles in grief and loss, coping with anxiety, depression, or strained relationships. You are not alone as you work to improve your life. I wish to join you in this important work of moving forward and becoming your best self. I have worked in the field of counseling for more than 25 years, receiving my PhD in counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My approach is holistic and person-centered including the mind, body, and spirit and is tailored to you and your personal experience. I integrate a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Integrative Therapy. We will work collaboratively in a therapeutic partnership. My goal is to hold space that is open and without judgment, encouraging the authenticity of your thoughts and feelings to effectively create personal therapeutic solutions that foster greater insight, perspective, and positive transformational change. As we develop a counseling relationship, I will partner with you to set goals, educate you in aspects of what you may be experiencing, and walk with you on your healing and growth journey. I am impassioned to collaborate with individuals experiencing loss, grief, and life transitions. Multiple issues arise relating to loss- loss of a loved one, loss of hopes/dreams, loss of a marriage or intimate relationship; and, working through loss requires time, connections, and a safe place. I can help you reconnect with yourself and redefine what is necessary to help you live your life with new understanding and purpose. The counseling relationship is the foundation for successful treatment no matter what therapeutic modalities are utilized. My greatest strength is established in my holistic and empathic approach that fosters a strong, trust-based relationship and that empowers you to navigate your journey toward mental, physical, and emotional well-being with confidence and support. I consider you an expert on your life experience and therapy is meant to empower you through the difficulties you may face. My work is focused on helping you seek personal growth and change as you navigate these challenges and transitions. This journey is to assist you in finding the solutions and tools necessary to define and live a fulfilling life, your most authentic self with personal freedom, confidence, personal responsibility, and choice. While everyone is unique, I have found that clients show notable progress in 6-8 sessions. In these sessions, the client develops an understanding of distressing needs/struggles, demonstrates a willingness to work on problems between sessions, and aspires to find mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic manner.

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Leggett is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
With a lot of people in NC, therapists may be booked out with clients.

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Leggett licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.
